How to Mod a Nintendo DS with an R4 Flashcart
Your Nintendo DS can do a lot of things out of the box. It can play DS games, as well as GameBoy Advance (GBA) games. It can download demos from download stations at places like Best Buy, and you can chat with friends in the same room. But, it can also play music, videos, display text files, and much more!
1. Acquire the R4DS (Revolution For DS) flashcart from an online retailer. They are not sold in stores, but they are not illegal as sold. You can find them on Amazon Marketplace and DealExtreme. Google should turn up others.
2. Download the latest firmware for the R4. At the time of this writing, the latest version is 1.18. The R4 may not ship with the latest firmware. See below for the proper link.
3. Connect the Transflash/microSD card to your computer. The R4 comes with a microSD to USB adapter which is very nice. If you have a memory card reader, use the SD adapter that comes with most microSD cards. In a pinch, put the memory card in a compatible phone and connect the phone to the computer.
4. Open the firmware file, should be Language-Version.zip. Unpack the contents of this archive to the root directory of your microSD card.
5. Verify that you have done everything right. That should be all it takes. Remove whatever game may be in your DS' Slot-1, insert the R4, and insert the microSD card into the R4. There is only one way it can go, and it will most likely be the way you don't expect. It does not matter in what order you do this - you could also put the microSD card into the R4 and then put the R4 in the DS. (A clever individual can remove the microSD card from the R4 while the R4 is in the DS, but it's a tight area.)
6. Turn the DS on. You should get the safety warning, but before you get a chance to touch the screen to confirm, the R4 should take over. The default DS menu, if it was enabled (it is by default), will be bypassed, and the R4 menu will load. You will get three choices. The first one, Game, will allow you to load a .NDS file (a DS ROM, or a homebrew application - .NDS is to your DS what .EXE is to your Windows computer). The second one, Media, will allow you to play multimedia - music, video, text - using the Moonshell OS. The third one, Slot-2, will allow you to boot a Slot-2 (Game Boy Advance) game.
7. Get some good homebrew and DS games! The most recommended DS download site is PocketDownloadCenter

Nintendo Wii Accessories At R4ds.co.uk
Gaming is a multi-pronged world with consoles, accessories and more crowding the market. apart from gaming consoles there have developed over the years a great many gaming accessories that take gaming to new never before explored levels.
There are many sites listing the must have Wii accessories. There are many online forums as well, that discuss them in detail. You will find many sharing their incredible experience while some may point out the faults. Do read them for knowledge as they also give you an idea as to what should be expected. Most of these sites have their own set of top accessories for Wii, though a few common and the popular ones are the extra controllers, rechargeable batteries, game cube controllers, game cube memory cards, Wii points, SD card and the component video adapter.
The Nintendo Wii is compatible not only with games designed for the Wii, but for Nintendo GameCube titles as well. If you do not have a GameCube controller already – your existing GameCube controllers are compatible – then one of the more useful Nintendo Wii accessories is a GameCube controller. Not only will that allow you to play a wider variety of games, you can also play the classic games that are downloadable to your Wii system. However, you need more than the GameCube controller to fully replicate the features of the GameCube games. Without a GameCube memory card, your progress through many of the games will be lost each time you shut down your Wii. A GameCube memory card will allow you to save your progress and play at your leisure. Again, if you have existing GameCube memory cards they are compatible with the Wii.
The extra controller facilitates one to play head to head Wii sports games such as tennis or boxing. The extra controllers are the Wiimote and the Nunchuck. The combined cost of both of them would be around sixty dollars. The Wii supports four, but even one extra controller is just as much fun. Rechargeable batteries are a must for the avid gamers. If Nunchuck is left attached to the consoles, the battery drains out at a lightening speed. The rechargeable battery is one of the practical and cost saving Nintendo Wii accessories. Other attractive Wii games and accessories include the Nintendo wave bird. It is priced at only thirty five dollars and you can go wireless t

oo. Game cube controller is also a well-liked accessory that works with the "virtual console". One does not need to buy the classic controller in this case. This is also nominally priced at twenty five dollars only.
Game Packages
Most Wii consoles come with the standard nunchuk, Wii remote, game console and sensor as well as the Wii Sports game. The bundles come with more games and/or accessories. The cost for the accessories is not expensive for the most part. You can find the Wii remotes for about thirty dollars and the skins for about nine dollars. Most games come with the disc and any controllers or tools needed to play the game. You can buy extra controllers or accessories for any games that are made for the Wii.
Steering Wheel for Nintendo Wii - Wanting to drive a fast car in the fast lane? This nice accessory is for you. Though the remote controller for the Wii is doing a great job in this genre of a game, hardcore gamers as well as hardcore drivers would certainly need something that resembles a real steering wheel for a more realistic gaming experience with the Nintendo Wii.
GameCube Controller
If you plan on making use of the Wii's backwards compatibility then the Gamecube controller is a must, they can be picked up on eBay for next to nothing. You can even buy the cordless Wavebird controller for wire free gaming.
SD Memory Card
The Wii is only supplied with a small 512mb SD card, it's not a huge issue if you only play a couple of games but you can soon fill the card up with multiple game saves. I personally purchased a couple of 2gb cards just in case I run out of space, it's a low cost add on and definitely worthwhile.

r4 ds software – YouTube – R4 Nintendo DS
Nintendo's DS systems is one the most successful handheld gaming systems in history. Unfortunately all you can do with it is play games. Well that's what you bought it for isn't it? But wouldn't it be great if you could use your DS like a portable media centre? Wouldn't it be good to listen to your mp3s, watch videos and see your holiday photos on it?
Guess what. You can. All you need is a little device called the R4DS (or R4 Revolution if you prefer). The R4 is a bit of a Revolution for DS as it happens. It could become an essential component for every DS owner to enhance their experience, or it could turn the system into a software pirate's dream.
The R4DS works as an adaptor for your DS to transfer data with a flash SD card, the type you might use in a digital camera or mobile phone. First you need to put your applications and files on your SD card from your computer. Following that, simply plug the R4DS into your Nintendo DS, then your SD card into the R4DS. Then you can use whatever files and applications are stored on the SD card in your DS (honestly, I'm not trying confuse you with all these "SD"s and "DS"s.
The applications can be downloaded from the Internet from specialist websites. The types of application you can expect range from music players, image viewers and calculators to card games and homemade platform games.
On top of this, using the R4DS, you can back-up all your current DS games onto an SD card. This is a Godsend if you have messy children that don't put their games away and a 3 month old puppy eager to tear apart anything it can get its teeth on. Since I had a back-up of Pokemon Diamond there were no tears when our dog got a little over excited with the copy we'd bought just a week before. Thank you R4.
Not only that, you can easily back-up all your games onto a single SD card. That means you don't need to lug your entire games collection around with you. In fact you never need to unplug the R4DS as it can store all your games in it. That means no more hunting around for lost DS cartridges. It makes the Nintendo DS an all-in-one portable gaming and media station, for less than the price of a single game.
However, all is not well in R4DS-land. There is a fairly significant threat that could harm the video gaming industry and it's consumers on two fronts. That is piracy.
The R4DS is not illegal (you can buy them from Amazon), but Nintendo wish it was. Video game pirates use the R4DS to play games they do not own legally. Owners of the R4DS are urged not to take advantage of this and Nintendo are fighting to stop the sale of the product. The long-term effects of piracy are a weaker gaming industry and therefore fewer games and games of a lower quality.
Ironically, the threat of piracy also threatens the R4DS itself. There are many online stores selling imitations of the R4 Revolution. There are plenty of Internet forum reports of people plugging in their brand new R4DS only to find they can never turn their DS on again. But after closer inspection, they realise it not a true R4DS but a very similar clone.
It looks like the R4DS will give a large proportion of Nintendo DS owners a new and exciting way to utilise their portable gaming console. It also looks like Nintendo have quite a battle to stop the sale of the R4DS which will undoubtedly lead to in an increase in piracy. The fairest situation it seems would be for Nintendo to close down the pirate websites and allow the ethical use of the R4DS to continue.
